About the artwork

A scenic panel of four connecting pieces expands into a vast valley of thought. The artist Wang Tiande declares his adoration of time by presenting layers of multiple visions. He is mesmerised by the sacred notion of ever-present time and leaves his mark by burning continuous devotion into the papers of his work.
